AUGUST STORMS.
Sad Stories of Loss of Life and Damage to
Property on Newfonndland's Coast.

ST JOINS Sept. 8.-Reports daily arriving
from all parts of the country show that the gale
of the 26th of August was one that will long be
remembered for the loss Of life and extent of
damage sustained from it. At and around the
island of st. Pierre the gale ragged in all its
fury. vessel, name unknown, was wrecked
on the back of Langley Island, near St. Pierre,
and as no trace of her crew has as yet been
found, il is feared that they must have all met
with q watery grave. Several large vessels
went ashore on Dog island, near St. Pierre. and
in many cases became total wrecks. One hun
dred thousand dollars will not cover the extent
of damage to property sustained byNewfoundland
vessels that were on the banks during the storm.
Dories were swept away anchors slipped and
burst, sails split and torn, line, twines and
travis lost and abandoned is the daily report,
and many vessel arriving has even a sadder
record to tell of how those who went forth In the
morning never had q chance of returning. but
were swallowed up in the pitiless storm driven
to to die OF starvation. The French bark
. ssrs.jienne lost two of her crew the banks in
: lis gale. The Joseph Amade aiso had two of
her crew swept overheard The French bark
Chevreuel reports having passed a large vessel,
bottom up. on the banks. it being too rough at
the time to make any close observations which
would lead to her Identification. From the de-
scriptioD, however it would appear to be the
French bark St. Pierre. sailing from St Pierre,
with crew of fifteen mon. The bark Ruby

having ridden out the gale, but with the
unfortunate intelligence that her captain was
knocked overheard by stroke from the end of
the cable. There are as many as ive achooners
missing from BURN. five from Grand Bank,
and one from Burgeo. all OF which were on the
banks the morning OF the gale and have notyet
been seen or heard from. If the worst should come
to pass and these vessels are lost, the bread
winners of hundreds will have met a watery
grave Nor are the south and west portions of
the coast the only places that have suffered. A
telegram to-day from Tilt cove gives the first re-
port from Labrador of tho gale, and it states
that from the places so far heard from as many

JUDGE DICKEY'S WILL.
A Sensational Contest Over an Estate Whose
Value Is Not Greater than 100000.

CHICAGO, Sepc. S-A sensational bill
filed in the Superior Court to-day to break the
will of the late eminent jurist, Judge It. Lyle
Dickey, of the federal Circuit Court. The value
Of the estate does not exceed $50. .00C. It is in
the circumstances of the and in the proni-
of all the parties that the interest lies.
According to the will, the widow. Mrs Beulah
Dickey, was beoueathed the entire estate. She
was Judge Dickey's second wife. The complain
ants are his children, all of whom were by his
first wife. They are John J. Dickey, of Omaha;
Martha A. Wallace. of Ottawa H.; Chas H.
Diclxey. of the Hawaiian Islands, and Victoria
B. Wallace, of the same place. The court
is asked to carry out the intention OF the de-
ceased, which is declared to be that the widow
received one third of the estate, as provided by
law. and the residue 60 to the children. It is
said that the second marriage. which occurred
in 1870 proved disastrous to him and his chill
dren. The wife is described being of such
violent temper that he obliged to desert
her for several years Afterward she compelled
him-how is not stated-to make the will ignor-
ing the children. Then the startling charge is
made that,when the judge was his death
bed he begged the presence of lawyer for the
purpose of making new will This boon was
denied, and it is charged that, pending the
death of the aged judge his wife, for purposes
of her own would allow no one to see him but
herself.

A CLERGYMAN'S SUICIDE.
Scholastic Disappointment Prompts Rev.
Mr.. Fisher to take His life.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 8-Rev. Mr. Fisher, who
committed suicide in California, came to Balti-
more five years ago from Detroit, having &C
cepted call TO the Reformed Episcopal Church
of the Redeemer. His relations with the vestry
were not congenial. and in twelve months he
accepted call to Emmanuel Church. There
he remained until July last. when he resigned
and wen. to California. ALI the while he was a
student of the Johns Hopkins University. He
already received the degree of II. A. from the
Illinois Wesleyan University, but his object in
studying history and philosophy was to obtain
the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy. He failed
in the examinations of the past two years. and
his failure to obtain the coveted degree weighed
heavily his mind. When he went to Los
Angeles, Cal, he proposed to open sem
mary.
Another cherished project of his was to secure
a position lecturer in the Uuniversity of Cali
fornia- He was negotiating for the position, and
the only doubt he seemed to have the subject
was that his failure to obtain his degree of Ph.
ID. at the Johns Hopkins would operate against
his securing the desired position. His doubts
realized, and it is probabls that his failure
to be appointed a lecturer unhinged his mind andl
prompted him to commit suicide He was about
thirty-fve years of and married to a
most charming lady. His father is Rev J. A
Fisher, member of the Illinois Methodist
Episcopal Conference.
